Kathmandu: There’s a buzz among netizens and horoscope enthusiasts that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has changed zodiac signs. Now, the Internet is full of articles with headlines like ‘NASA ruined us’ or ‘the astrological signs have been updated after thousands of years’.

Some of these rumors are even saying that positions of constellations have changed, and now there’s a 13th sign, called Ophiuchus.

Things like this may be interesting to read, but the truth is that NASA has not updated the astrological signs. Another thing to clear the rumors: Positions of constellations have not changed. And one more for those who claim Ophiuchus is a new constellation: it’s the thousands of years old constellation.

The weirdest think about the rumor is that it linked science and astrology, although they have no connection with each other. Astrology is nothing, but just nonsense. Still, there are many people around the globe who believe in it.

If zodiacal constellations are considered as per science, there are more than 12 small constellations the sun can pass through. They are usually overlooked, thanks to their faint stars. Ophiuchus is the biggest constellation, which means NASA has not added it in the list, as it was already there, but was ignored by astrologers. So instead of blaming NASA for adding one more constellation and ruining life, people should blame astrology.

How this 13th sign phenomenon grabbed headlines? Here, NASA can be blamed. The space agency posted an article on its website, SpacePlace, for children. Posted in January, the article, in a fun way, described the zodiac constellations. It grabbed attention of an astrology fan, and became a rumor.

Such a rumor also grabbed headlines in 2011, which means you should be ready for the same story in future. (Submitted by Natalia Hall NORCAL)
